Does your LO have good and bad nights?

I thought we were on to something when my ds (dear son) slept a 5 hour stretch for 3 nights in a row! But last night was terrible. He woke after 2.5 hours each time. I was spoiled with the 5 hours haha! Does your LO (little one) have good and bad nights? I'm hoping the long stretch was not a thing of the past! He's almost 7 weeks.

No mine has been steady. Started at every 3 hours. Then went to a 4 hour stretch followed by every 3 hours. Last night he slept 6.5 hours straight for the first time so I'm praying he'll stick with it!

Totally normal, yep... if they're going through a growth spurt or developmental milestone it can affect it. Also, how much sleeping and eating during the day also impacts it. DH (dear husband) and I know if she's got a lot of awake time, she will do a nice long stretch. But if she sleeps a ton (and therefore eats less), she will have shorter lengths. It starts to stabilize closer to 3-4 mos.

Yes- we have good nights and bad. It's about 50/50. Some nights the first stretch of sleep is 5-7hrs! Other nights he is up every 2-3. I think it depends on growth spurts, wonder weeks,etc. and I mean, let's be real our LOs are still so young. Bound to have bad nights in with the good. Babies will be babies😉
